Polymorphism analysis of thymidylate synthase in 252 colorectal cancer patients / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the polymorphism of thymidylate synthase(TS)in colorectal cancer patients,further more,to provide guidance for personalized therapy of colorectal cancer.Methods PCR direct sequencing was used to detect the polymor-phism of TS in 252 patients with colorectal cancer.Results TS genotypes of 252 patients with colorectal cancer were detected total-ly,including 137 male and 115 female.3RG/3RC accounted for the largest proportion in both male and female(36.50% and 36.52%respectively).In female,2RC/3RC and 3RG/3RG both accounted for the second largest proportion(both 18.25%).While in fe-male,3RG/3RC accounted for the second largest proportion(26.09%).If patients were divided according to age groups,in youth patients(n=28),3RG/3RC accounted for the largest proportion(42.86%),and the second was 2RC/3RG(21.43%).In the middle aged patients(n=84),3RG/3RC(45.24%)and 2RC/3RC(16.67%)were the major genotypes.For old patients(n=115),the ma-jor genotypes were 3RG/3RC(36.52%)and 2RC/3RG(16.52%).Conclusion The polymorphism of TS are mainly 3RG/3RC in colorectal cancer patients.
